Hi! I do not own anything in this story except for my OC. Enjoy!

"Come on, Lucy! I need to show you this!"

Said girl groaned as she trudged up the fifty-something steps of the Higurashi shrine. She was just told about her best friend and practically sister, Kagome's, crazy journeys of the past few months. Being a skilled fighter, Kagome thought it would be a good idea for her friend to come and help defeat Naraku. Lucy, having a very big imagination, soaked it all up like a sponge and said that she would come as long as she could bring whatever she wanted. So she had brought along her black bag, the one thing she had left of her parents which, unknown to Kagome, could fit anything that fit through the drawstring hole at the top.

As they jumped down the well, the well decided that it didn't like the newcomer, so as soon as they were in the Feudal Era it shot her out like a cannon. Lucy, being insane, shot her hands up in a Superman pose and let out a "WEE!" before a flash of red caught her. She was about to let out a depressing 'aww' when she saw her savior's face. No, not his face. She was focused on the pair off dog ears on his head.

"Inuyasha? Have you seen-" Kagome stopped midsentence when she saw her best friend rubbing the Hanyou's ears. He dropped her on the ground and she decided that this was the Inuyasha that Kagome had told her about. When the two companions locked eyes, Lucy immediately knew they were lovers. Wedding bells went off in her head as she got up and started walking towards the nearby village.

Inuyasha was startled. He felt like he should know who this stranger was, but his mind was drawing blank. He could not recognize this girl. Her bright red hair and purple eyes he knew came from different parents, but he thought he should know who she and her parents were. Her scent was one of a bound demon, but she didn't seem to notice this as she started skipping through the forest.

'She probably doesn't know.' Inuyasha thought, an uneasy feeling growing inside him. It only increased when they arrived at the village, where a bear demon decided to attack. The girl simply took a look at him before holding her hands up like a tube and blew into it (AN: she was doing fake blow darts/spitballs). Everyone watching was shocked as a dark aura shot out of her hand and hit the demon strait in the chest, effectively killing him. She calmly walked up to the dead demon and pulled a jewel shard out of its forehead. She stood up and handed it to Kagome. "Is this the Shikon no Tama you were talking about?" The miko nodded numbly. "Well now you have one less shard to find."

The duo stared in shock as the girl swiftly and expertly climbed up one of the many trees surrounding the village. Kagome was thinking of how Lucy had done that and how many other secrets she was keeping from her. The only thing going on in Inuyasha's mind was 'Who is she?'
